Title: left handed youth bow.....frustrated
Post by: huntingfamily on November 19, 2012, 11:17:04 AM: after this season of rifle hunting with my kids because the oldest daughter(15)isn't ready to bow hunt yet . i'm looking around to find little brother a bow so we don't have to hunt with the masses :bdid: . every where you looked you saw orange !!! so after surfing the web i only find a few bows that will fit a L/H youth. my daughter is shooting the bear apprentice 2 . little brother doesn't want the same bow :bash: wants to be his own little man.cant have the same as big sis. anyone have a different youth bow with good reviews?

Post by: LeeMajors on November 19, 2012, 11:27:26 AM: Diamond infinite edge or razors edge. reliable, highly adjustable, come fully equiped. Under $400 brand new (probably under $300 for the razors edge)

You didn't tell us what age/size little brother is though.

Diamond Razors Edge!!! Cant beat the Growth Op and Adjustability in Draw Length and Poundage.

My 2 cents

They sell them with your choice of limb weight, and you can send them in to get upgraded when he's ready. The draw length and weight are extremely adaptable even without trading out the limbs.

Keep us posted on how it goes. I just saw one of those at Cabelas last week, righty though, and thought this might be a great option for my boy in a year or two. How much was it, if you don't mind?
